Seahawks tender Dion Jordan, not Thomas Rawls

The Seahawks had decisions to make on a couple of well-known restricted free agents. One of them will be staying in Seattle, while another may be on the way out.

Dion Jordan, the former No. 3 overall draft pick, was tendered at the first-round level. That means the Seahawks are definitely planning to keep him and think he has a big role in the franchise going forward. Jordan was a major bust for the Dolphins and didn’t play at all in 2015 or 2016, but he showed promise for the Seahawks in 2017 and could be a starter for them in 2018.

Thomas Rawls, the running back who has had some big moments but also some disappointing moments in Seattle, was not tendered. As a rookie in 2015, Rawls averaged 5.6 yards a carry. But he averaged just 3.2 yards a carry in 2016 and just 2.7 yards a carry in 2017.

The Seahawks also didn’t tender running back Mike Davis, so he, like Rawls, becomes an unrestricted free agent.

RB Mike Davis was already released by Seattle. Seattle needs an OL, and a speed receiver with height. These short receivers without speed are no challenge to CB’s. C’mon Pete!

Agree with OL, but recently acquired Marcus Johnson is 6’1″ and last year’s pick Amara Darboh is 6’2″. Look for them to compete for the 3rd WR spot along side Baldwin and Lockett, both 5’11”.

They thought Thomas Rawls was good enough to make Beast Mold expendable and they forced him to retire. Now they think Dion Jordan is good enough that they traded Michael Bennett. Can it be Deja Vu all over again? They also think that they can replace Steven Hauschka with Blair Walsh. You got a world class GM in John Schneider, and your team is in good hands. LOL
